Stephen Dorff happy to be `rediscovered`
Stephen Dorff loves being "cool again".
The actor has seen interest in career take off again following his role as lonely rockstar Johnny Marco in Sofia Coppola`s new film `Somewhere` but is upset his mother is no longer around to witness his success.
He said: "The reaction has been massive. I`ve done more interviews than ever before.
"Sofia and I have been friends for a long time and she approached me. She rediscovered me - she made me cool again.
"Now I have amazing roles coming to me, all because of her.
"And it`s weird, I lost my mum two years ago and now here I am finally playing a role she would have loved to see me play. That broke my heart."
The 37-year-old star has been out of the spotlight for a long time since his 90s hey day, but insists he has continued working throughout his years in the Hollywood wilderness.
He added: "I`ve been here - I`ve been working my a*s off. The ups and downs of the business are hard. At one point there was so much hype about me. Then I made a bunch of movies for the money that I didn`t like and nobody saw.
"Then I did `Blade` and Hollywood started to see me as the bad guy, but that soon gets old too."
